GordonD Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 4 hours ago, ICTChris said: Experienced my first road rage incident today. Driving onto a roundabout in the totally normal way I always do, guy behind me started flashing his lights and beeping his horn. I hadn’t done anything wrong so assumed it was aimed at someone else, he then swung round onto the outside lane, stopped, wound down his window and started shouting at me. I couldn’t hear what he said because I had my windows up, I assume he wasn’t asking what sort of MPG I got on my commute. I’ve thought about it and I didn’t do anything at all wrong, it was really bizarre. I go through the roundabout every day and know I was in my lane and didn’t jump the light. Really odd. It’s kind of crazy that there are people who drive about on the edge of an absolute meltdown like that. I'm confused here. Were you waiting to enter the roundabout? If not, how come he was able to stop and shout abuse at you? Were you stationary as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperate for something to happen so they can lose it. I remember one incident to this day. I was slowing down as I approached this junction to turn left. As soon as I put on my indicator the fud behind me drives up and over that piece of pavement and shouts at me for wanting to turn left from the right hand lane. He wasn't going slowly and as his right tyre hit the big wedge of the kerb straight on the car bounced up in the air with a decent bang. Yet after that he still thought I was the one that was the bad driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 What a ridiculous cycle lane. I know where that is and the road is so quiet it doesn't need a cycle lane. The money could have been far better spent elsewhere- that's just a box-ticking exercise to say they've provided a continuous cycle route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
